I am trying out handlebars and I am using the following simple template for this:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<p>{{body}}</p>
{{#each list}}
<ul>
<li>{{@index}}. {{this}}</li>
</ul>
</br>
{{{htmlTag}}}
{{#if user.admin}}
<button class="launch">Launch Spacecraft</button> {{else}}
<button class="login"> Log in</button>
{{/if}}
{{!-- This is a comment --}}
</body>
</html>
My app.js
looks like the following:
require('dotenv').config()
const express = require('express')
const logger= require('morgan')
const path = require('path')
const app = express()
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'))
app.set('view engine', 'hbs')
app.use(logger(process.env.LOG_ENV))
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const titel = "This is a titel"
const body = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amen ..."
const list = ['apple', 'banana', 'vegetable']
const htmlTag = '<h2>This is an unescaped Heading</h2>'
const user = {
admin: true
}
res.render('index',{titel, body, list, htmlTag, user})
})
// Start Server
const port = process.env.APP_PORT || 8080
const host = process.env.APP_URL || '0.0.0.0'
app.listen(port, host, () => {
console.log(`Listening on ${host}:${port}/`)
})
module.exports = app
When I render the page, I get the following error:
Error: /home/ubuntu/workspace/src/views/index.hbs: Parse error on line 20: ...}} -------------------^ Expecting 'OPEN_INVERSE_CHAIN', 'INVERSE', 'OPEN_ENDBLOCK', got 'EOF' at Object.parseError (/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/handlebars/dist/cjs/handlebars/compiler/parser.js:267:19) at Object.parse (/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/handlebars/dist/cjs/handlebars/compiler/parser.js:336:30) at HandlebarsEnvironment.parse (/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/handlebars/dist/cjs/handlebars/compiler/base.js:46:43) at compileInput (/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/handlebars/dist/cjs/handlebars/compiler/compiler.js:514:19) at ret (/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/handlebars/dist/cjs/handlebars/compiler/compiler.js:523:18) at /home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/hbs/lib/hbs.js:63:19 at tryToString (fs.js:456:3) at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:443:12)
Any suggestion what I am doing wrong within my template?
I appreciate your reply!
Error states:
Expecting (...), got EOF
Where:
What you are missing is closing {{/each}}
:
{{#each list}}
<ul>
<li>{{@index}}. {{this}}</li>
</ul>
</br>
{{{htmlTag}}} {{#if user.admin}}
<button class="launch">Launch Spacecraft</button> {{else}}
<button class="login"> Log in</button> {{/if}} {{!-- This is a comment --}}
{{/each}} <!-- HERE -->
This is always as a result of not closing either {{each}}
, {{if}}
, or any other control statements, but it cannot be caused by unclosed html tags like <div>
, <p>
, or any other html tags.
